    Oh man I simply ask for no garlic and I was given a Shawarma with nothing but it and chicken no veggies no pickles just awful.

    Hate horrible customer service so bad
    Ambirr M.

    Customer service truly sucks I hate it for the consumers because I'll actually never be back. Why get a job you don't want where you are going to be rude and nasty to people . Hire better staff so people can actually experience the food

    Still the go to place for Shawarma and salads. Simple ambiance and fast service. Home and friendly vibes

    Bucharest is always a mandatory stop during my visits home. This trip, I ate here twice and got the same thing! There's so much chicken in the shawarma the flavors are awesome and I have not had a better shawarma anywhere!! I placed the order online, so I really didn't experience the service this trip. The restaurant looks nice inside and is in an upcoming area.

    I stopped in for lunch and expected a crowd! This is a popular spot. My order was taken quickly. There was a short wait- each order is made fresh! I tried the lamb shawarma & learned I don't care for it. The chicken shawarma is tastier in my opinion. The fries are best when hot! There's seating and a wait area inside. They have parking right outside the door!

    Fresh food. Fast service. Variety of healthy choices on the menu. Recommend the chicken shawarma sandwich. Will return and try other items.

    I've had Bucharest Grill on my radar for ages and never visited until recently, and now I'm kind of upset that I waited this long. Nate and I were in town for a wedding and headed to the rehearsal. We'd been traveling all afternoon and didn't stop to get any lunch, so we were pretty hungry. I hopped on Yelp and saw that this Bucharest Grill and Baobab Fare were both pretty close to the venue. Since we had limited time, I opted for Bucharest Grill and it was perfect. There were plenty of parking spots right outside which was super convenient. We ordered a chicken shawarma to split since we just needed a small bite and would be heading to dinner later. The shawarma was quickly assembled and we dug in. The chicken was juicy and tender, and all the veggies were fresh and crisp. The pita itself was the thin, dry wrap type, which I usually find to be kind of stale and flavorless, but this one somehow wasn't. I loved the pickles and of course the garlic sauce was awesome! I really appreciated how tightly the shawarma was wrapped since we were dressed up and trying not to make a mess. The size was perfect to split for a light meal, and at $7 it was a great deal. We definitely had garlic breath but I didn't care, it was so delicious. I'd definitely come back and get a combo and try the lamb next time. If you need a quick bite and are craving shawama, check out Bucharest Grill.

    Chicken shawarmas and garlic spread. Come here pretty often. Too bad the one in corktown is gone!

    Great establishment... quick and nice... I will gladly recommend this too others. Food was delicious and customer service was nice

    Oh My Goodness!!!!! And you have got to say that with soul!!! $17 of pure divine flavor fullness!!! The first bite seals the deal!! Full of robustness, from the peppers to the onions to the char flavor on the beef then wrapped in deliciousness! I had a sundress on that literally had drops of sauce from the juice drippin! I'm not playing! The BEST thing I have tasted in Detroit! And we have tired other places for food, I left hungry or unsatisfied, this mouthful made up for the lack of flavor I was getting! A must when visiting! Take it from a true foodie!!! That's it, that's my take! I'm ready for seconds....

    Food is excellent. You get a large portion which is delicious. Our server/cashier was slow but the food was worth the wait!

    This review is strictly for the limited run chicken sandwich they do every year, and all I can say…read moreis when he announces that it is the season, run, do not walk and get one. The spices, the flavors, the perfectly crisp coating, the toppings, you name it, this chicken is it. Order online and it's ready for you quickly so you can get it all over you in the car if you want. Service is always impeccable and if you choose to eat at the restaurant, it's an absolutely lovely spot.

    One of the best restaurants in Detroit and one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. This…read moreis thanks to the chef and owner Chef Omar, who is a fantastic human. The restaurant is easy to miss, located on a main road. They do have a small free parking lot. The interior is small, intimate, casual, and unpretentious. At my second visit (my first was several years ago when it first opened) my friend and I came late in the afternoon on a Friday. I'm not sure if we came at a slow time (we were initially the first customers there) or that the Chef was training a new service, but we received VIP treatment. I've occasionally had chefs check in, I've never had service from the chef before! He discussed the menu, as well as his intention for the restaurant. I love Moroccan tea, and the tea service they provide is just lovely. He is certified in tea, and incredibly knowledgeable. My friend and I started with the mudammas fava bean dip, served with pita chips. This was so fantastic I would return just for it. Creamy, just the right balance of flavor, topped with fresh veggies to add texture, I cannot say enough good things. I had the lamb tagine, and she had the kafta meatball batbout. The meatball is listed as a sandwich, it is in house made flatbread. Both dishes were amazing, so fresh and flavorful. The lamb shank was fall off the bone, the couscous was loaded with fresh vegetables. I ended up stopping in for lunch again by myself. I had the harissa potatoes and the flava bean soup, and a slice of pie that was a special. Everything again was fantastic, but it's the potatoes that you will crave after having once. Crispy and brightly flavored, soft once you bit in. I was able to try one of the Chef's teas, and hear a bit more about the restaurant. While the bread for the meatball batbout is made in house, the bread for the fish and chicken sandwiches he obtains locally. I like how engaged he, and the restaurant as a result, is with the community. Chef Omar treats all of his customers as welcomed friends. A quick note that the restaurant does not have any alcohol. They offer alcohol free wine and other beverages. Be aware of this, but do not let it deter you!
